We got beat up so bad.
But, you know, to go down there with Wayne Heisinger and win the World Series, it was kind of an odd place, to be honest with you, because we played a lot of games where actually half the crowd was to the other team.
You know, Philadelphia, Yankees, Baltimore, Atlanta.
And it was Chicago Cubs.
It was kind of a strange place, really, because a lot of nights, like I said, half the crowd was for the other team.
But, you know, we accomplished our goal.
And I thought we had one of the greatest World Series of all time.
And I still say to this day that we really got cheated because had that World Series that we played between the Marlins and Cleveland been between the Yankees and the Dodgers, it might have gone down as the greatest World Series of all time.
Well, I can remember.
Yeah, I do.
I can remember Greg Zahn, who I love.
I absolutely loved him.
And I was just really trying to teach him a lesson.
I think I helped him a little bit because...
One year they were talking about interleague play and all this other stuff.
And Greg Zahn came out and was kind of blasting the owners about it.
And I said, you know, I called him and I told him, I said, you know, you're a backup catcher here.
You're a switch hit and catcher that's got a chance to stay in the big leagues for a long time.
But it's not a good idea, you know, for you.
If you're the number one catcher and a star, maybe you should make some comments like that.
